Question about Autoblinda Lancia 1ZM

Recommended Posts

I was putzing around with the scenario editor today and I happened across this Italian AC. The in-game model looks like it has a small bore cannon as armament but the info states that the 1ZM had 2 Co-ax. MGs. I'm certainly no grog and I'm not hollering bug, but does anyone have a picture of this AC? Thanks.

As with a number of AFVs in the CM series, some are not represented with their exact model. In this case the Autoblinda IZM is represented with an Autoblinda 40/41 - a much newer and different armored car. The IZM is based on a Lancia light truck chassis (somewhat similar in appearance to an old Rolls-Royce) with a turret.

Here's some pictures of Autoblinda IZ series:

SPWAW's "Across the Wire" - the picture in the upper left is one of the IZ series; possibly the IZM

_ Beg pardon, but that is neither an IZ or IZM.

This is an IZM

And an IZ was almost identical, but with a mini-turret on top of its turret, mounting another MG.

Around 15 vehicles were used during the SCW. The 11 survivors were returned to Italy or/and NA.

Yes, that was an IZ -though the turret seems squared to me, and it lacked the coverwheels -
